On the outskirts of Yangzhou, in the courtyard of a small village, a simple wooden house stands. It is difficult for anyone to tell that this wooden house is the residence of Shi Long, the number one expert in Yangzhou.
Shi Long was sitting in the room at this time. There were dozens of bamboo slips on a table in front of him, as well as a book woven with black gold thread. He sometimes looked at the books and sometimes flipped through the bamboo slips, his brows furrowed, his face
The color of confusion is heavy.
He has been reading this book day and night for more than two years, but still has gained nothing. It is like a treasure in front of him, but no key to the door.
While he was lost in thought, a gust of wind suddenly blew. Shilong didn't realize it, but he suddenly realized that he closed all the doors and windows. Where did the wind come from?
Shi Long was startled. He raised his head and looked towards the door. He saw that the door had been opened at some point, and a figure stood there with his hands behind his back. His moon-green clothes were blown violently by the wind.
Seeing that figure, Shi Long's pupils shrank, and he immediately waved his sleeves and swept away the bamboo slips on the desks. At the same time, he opened his sleeves to store the gold scroll.
This person has extremely high martial arts skills and is the strongest person he has ever seen in this world. He fights head-on with no chance of victory. He has no choice but to escape. Fortunately, he had already expected such a day, so when building this house, he deliberately
A trap door was left in the back wall.
The bamboo slips on the tables flew up and were supposed to disintegrate under the violent infuriating energy. Each bamboo piece turned into a sharp hidden weapon, but the person who came just pressed forward with his empty hand, as if time and space had frozen, and all the bamboo slips were completely destroyed.
Freeze, wrapping Shi Long himself, his right hand reaches out, and the cuff of his sleeve is holding half of the golden scroll.
"Although the bamboo slips are valuable, the knowledge contained in the bamboo slips is priceless. Wouldn't it be a pity if dozens of classics were destroyed in this way? You people have never known the value of knowledge. Perhaps it is because knowledge is so valuable to you.
It’s easy for you to get!”
The visitor sighed, and under Shi Long's puzzled gaze, he took down the roll of bamboo slips, carefully arranged them, and put them back on the cases.
After doing this, the visitor took out the golden book from Shilong's right sleeve, read it carefully, and casually opened the acupuncture points on Shilong's body.
The acupuncture points were unlocked, and Shi Long was shocked by the terrifying martial arts of the newcomer. Although he had seen it before, he was still surprised when he experienced it personally. He was afraid of the three great masters, the four great saints, the evil king and the queen of Yin.
He is no match for this person...
Although he was surprised by the high martial arts of the visitor, Shi Long was not afraid at all and asked: "You are here to seize the secret of longevity? With your skill, do you also want this secret of longevity?"
Xu Qian glanced at him and said with a smile: "You guys, do you think that reading the secret books of magic skills means you have to practice them? Can't you learn the principles and watch the wisdom of the predecessors?"
"Don't worry, I'm interested in the Secret of Immortality, but not interested in taking it away. As compensation for reading the book, I can tell you some clues about the Secret of Immortality!"
This aroused Shi Long's interest, and he asked curiously: "What clue?" He has been studying the Secret of Immortality for more than two years, but he has not found any clues. This person actually knows it?
The book "Secrets of Immortality" comes from Guangchengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times. It is written in oracle bone inscriptions. It is profound and difficult to decipher. Although there are many wise people who have read this book among the sages, no one has ever been able to understand it and decipher the whole book.
There are a total of 7,400 glyphs in the book, but only more than 3,000 glyphs have been deciphered. The book is also densely packed with annotations by people who have read the book, but they are often more confusing than the original text.
.
There are seven figures of human figures in the book, none of which are facing each other, and are guided by various symbols such as red dots, arrows, etc., which seem to be describing some kind of cultivation method. However, those who are not familiar with its meaning may not practice it.
Reluctantly stimulating the inner energy according to one of the symbols, the energy and blood will immediately boil, and then it will become more and more crazy, which is extremely dangerous.
While flipping through the Secret of Immortality, Xu Qian replied: "The first clue is that the reason why you cannot successfully practice the Secret of Immortality is because you already have internal power in your body."
Shi Long was stunned after hearing this and frowned: "Your Excellency, you mean that practicing the Secret of Immortality requires no martial arts and no internal strength?"
"Not necessarily. For example, for people like me who know martial arts and have internal strength, if they want to practice, it may not be impossible, but you... you should just practice honestly."
This person is too crazy!
Shi Long had such a sigh in his heart, but when he thought of this man's incredible martial arts skills, he felt that this man indeed had crazy capital.
Xu Qian added: "The second clue is that these seven pictures are all correct, but because everyone's physique is different, they can basically only choose one picture for practice. The seven pictures left by Guangchengzi should be exactly
Take into account the physical differences between different people."
"I guess that every picture points directly to the Shattered Void, which means that each picture is a broken-level mental method. But I think this is not the limit of the Immortality Art. Its limit should be when the practice reaches a certain level.
, the seven pictures are revised together, and finally the seven pictures are unified, reaching a higher level of brokenness."
Shi Long was stunned when he heard this. Although Xu Qian said it was a "guess", he felt that this guess was somewhat possible.
Guangchengzi wrote the secret of longevity and left the method of breaking to the world. Each type of people can find a suitable one among the seven pictures. As long as they practice to the limit, they can break the void.
However, practicing one picture alone only cultivates a certain characteristic of the human body to the extreme, and it is not comprehensive. Only by practicing the other six pictures and combining the seven pictures into one can it be most comprehensive and complete.
The first is "different people, teaching according to their aptitude", and the second is "different paths lead to the same destination, all methods are unified", which is in line with the principles of Taoism.
Ignoring Shi Long who was thinking, Xu Qian added: "The third clue is that the annotations left by the predecessors on these seven pictures are basically correct. Some of the annotations seem to conflict with each other, but in fact they are just the same."
Two sides of the same thing."
Speaking of which, the annotations left by the sages who have read the Secret of Immortality are also quite precious treasures. When they read the Secret of Immortality, they left such annotations based on their own knowledge, wisdom, and thoughts.
Annotations, which contain their thoughts and wisdom.
It's just a pity that for so many years, those who have obtained the Secret of Immortality seldom pay attention to these annotations. They care too much about the oracle bone inscriptions and the seven pictures of the Secret of Immortality, and they get nothing in the end. If someone can study some of them
Annotation, maybe you will gain something instead.
Shi Long said: "Since everything is basically right, then why didn't those predecessors and sages learn the secret of longevity?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Shi Long realized that he was too stupid to ask this question.
Didn’t this person just say that practicing the Secret of Immortality requires no martial arts skills and no internal strength?
When those predecessors and sages obtained the Secret of Immortality, they must have been famous for a long time, and their skills had already shocked the world. How could they have spent many years of skill in order to practice the Secret of Immortality?
What's more, those predecessors and sages are all very ambitious and think that they are extremely talented. Even if they don't practice the secret of longevity, they can reach a higher state with their own talents.
What Guangchengzi can do, can’t I do it?
Xu Qian had finished reading the Secret of Immortality and put it back in several cases. What he needed was the content of the Secret of Immortality, not the book woven with black gold thread. Seeing Xu Qian put down the Secret of Immortality, Shi Long felt relieved.
Quite a few, secretly thinking: 'It seems that this person will not kill him to seize the book!'
Putting down the book, Xu Qian said: "My three clues, the contents of a book on the Secret of Immortality are not enough."
Hearing this, Shi Long's heart tightened and he said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by your Excellency...?"
Xu Qian said: "Don't be nervous, I won't kill you, I'm just looking at your collection of books."
In order to understand the secret of longevity, Shi Long collected many books, most of which were Taoist classics. Some classics were not even collected by the Sui Dynasty.
Hearing that Xu Qian just wanted to see his collection of books, Shi Long readily agreed. This person told him all the important clues about the Secret of Immortality, which were much more valuable than his collection of books, which countless people had wanted for thousands of years.
Follow the clues you get!
Shi Long thought for a moment, nodded and said: "What you said is true. If you can get through your eyes, all the books in Shi's collection can be read by you. In other words, Shi has taken advantage!"
Xu Qian shook his head and said: "Whether it is cheaper or not does not depend on how much each party gets, but whether both parties think it is worth it. If it is not worth it, even if it is exchanged for a thousand gold, you will not feel that you have taken advantage. If it is worth it,
Even if I don’t get a penny, I will still be happy.”
